Great event Sept. 30!!

With or without your horse! https://www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/sunrise-therapeutic-riding-learning-centre/2017-Hoofbeat-Challenge/

Your Mission: Raise money to help children with special needs reach their full potential

Sunrise Therapeutic Riding & Learning Centre provides therapy, recreation, horse riding, life skills, farm related activities and education programming for people with special needs. We currently serve over 100 children and adults each week through our medically supervised therapeutic riding program. Our Centre is located on a beautiful 102-acre farm between Guelph and Cambridge.

The funds you raise through the Hoofbeat Challenge will directly help us to keep our therapeutic riding programs affordable for families, and help us keep our amazing herd of therapy horses happy and healthy.

We are truly a grassroots community organization that thrives only because of fundraising by loyal friends.
